The Super Bowl 50 halftime show was every bit as grand as the occasion itself.

Coldplay, Beyonce and Bruno Mars combined for a blockbuster performance in front of a sold-out crowd — as well as millions of TV viewers — on Sunday at Levi”s Stadium in Santa Clara.

It is expected to be, by far, the most viewed music event of the year.

Coldplay was a first timer to the halftime show experience, but Beyonce and Mars were both vets — having appeared at 2013 and 2014, respectively. After Coldplay opened the show, Bruno Mars and then Beyonce added a jolt after Mars broke in with the huge radio hit “Uptown Funk.”

Coldplay returns to Levi”s on Sept. 3 as part of its Head Full of Dreams Tour, which is the band”s first worldwide trek since the 2011-12 Mylo Xyloto Tour. That previous road show included a two-night stand at the SAP Center in San Jose. Tickets, priced at $45.50-$175.50, went on sale Friday, www.ticketmaster.com.
